Family-friendly vacation rentals in Gulf Gate Estates

Kayla’s home was so so so so beautiful words could not describe how amazing the location and home is. We spent most of our days in the beautiful pool and hot tub! Kayla was also very attentive with answering any questions or helping in any way she could!

This is our second year of staying here. Our hosts were very helpful and even left us little treats to welcome us. We arrived on November 8th, 2024. Weeks prior to arrival, they kept us updated on the progress of Hurricane cleanup. Their home is the perfect location. You can enjoy the ocean just across the street or the pool and hot tub with a view of the channel. Their home is clean and includes so many items that would need on this vacation. They were always willing to answer our questions as well as suggestions to make our trip even better. We feel perfectly at home here and can't wait to return next year.

Great location with the perfect beach house! Property grounds are beautiful and pool is amazing. We loved the upstairs lanai. The house is well equipped with everything you need. The hosts are very responsive and will check in with you to see if you need anything and to make sure everything is perfect during your stay. The beach is quiet and peaceful. The shelling is fun and we saw lots of dolphins and a manatee!

This house was everything we wanted and more. Our family had a wonderful vacation and Ven was beyond outstanding to deal with! Communication is huge to me and he is beyond helpful in any situation. 1000000% Recommend. Thank you for a wonderful vacation home!

I had a large party of 4 adults and 6 children and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house itself was stunning. We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Definitely would recommend others to stay here.

We had a great time! Amazing stay very clean and comfortable!! Would love to stay again in the future great location

Ulrike's apartment was perfect for two couples. It was very clean and well maintained. The high quality furnishings were comfortable and met out needs. The view was outstanding! Parking under the first floor was a big plus, with an elevator to our floor. We felt safe and had privacy.

My two boys and I truly enjoyed the condo. It was clean, tidy, roomy, well-equipped, and conveniently located. The community was quiet and peaceful. My boys loved the pool and I loved the hot tub. We were extremely pleased. While we were given a unit that differed from our original request, we understood the reason given and we were in no way disappointed with the new arrangement. The unit was perfect for us and we would definitely return. Bea and her assistant were quick to respond to my questions prior to arrival. We had no issues during our stay, so we never needed to communicate while we were there. Check-in and check-out were both extremely easy.

This place was perfect! Beautiful and peaceful backyard with a pool, we didn’t get to enjoy it but overall this place was beautiful.

We just wrapped up a very nice one week vacation and stay. Kathleen and her husband were incredibly flexible at both check-in and check-out and they went above and beyond to help us. Throughout the trip Kathleen and her husband were very communicative and they came to the property onsite several times to assist with a few small property challenges that came up which were out of their control. The pool and patio area is the highlight of their property. It is so peaceful and cozy and the pool was the perfect temperature and very well maintained. The second highlight of their place is the kitchen which is by far the best stocked kitchen at an Airbnb we have ever experienced. Third, we very much appreciated the abundance of beach gear and baby/kid gear they have onsite. The setup of the house is slightly non-traditional with some sliding doors to shut rooms off but overall we had a great stay. 5-7 minute walk to beach is accurate. Beds were very comfy.

Great clean place to stay at and they were very fair on price

We had an amazing stay. The house was very spacious and had a beautiful view. Incredible sunsets at the beach just a short walk away. Perfect place to relax and have a restorative vacation full of natural beauty. Very close to restaurants, museums, and other fun attractions for the whole family. Chris was very responsive to all our questions and friendly. He made us feel right at home!

The Tangerine Dream house is a true gem. We enjoyed our stay, and couldn’t have asked for a better location. A short drive to both Lido and Siesta Key beaches, but even better is to be in walking distance of the main downtown area and so many restaurants. House was quiet, well kept and had everything you would need, including beach chairs and toys. We will definitely be booking this place again!

We were new to Sarasota rental and came down for Christmas week as family of 5 (3 adult sons). The place was perfect fit. 2 baths/showers; pool and patio; 5 mins to plazas and 10 mins to key places. Roma was quick when we had questions. Will stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Pink Flamingo house. The house was well supplied, and clean. I would definitely recommend this house for any one that has a bigger family to accommodate for. The children enjoyed the heated swimming pool. Yvonne was very easy to work with and always responded when we had questions.

The Tree House was really cute. The GPS directions took us to the front of the house and there was a little sign with a quaint path around to the opposite side of the unit to access Unit B. (There is an alley way, so you can park around back.) The stairway up is actually entwined in a tree :). There is beach access about 2 blocks in one direction and a nice playground, basketball courts and bay views about 1.5 blocks in the other direction. The listing said there were two bedrooms and a couch. I assumed a pull out, but it is a sectional which you can configure to a queen or just a twin and sheets to put on top. We opted to put our three girls in the king bed and take the queen for ourselves. Had all the dishes, towels, supplies we needed. Really appreciated the wagon to tote our things down to the beach! Would stay here again!

Great place and excellent host. Loved the pool and watching the egrets by the lake. Thank you Tomas!

This was a great, peaceful place to stay. We were comfortable and cozy. The Host was very responsive and respectful and Helpful. Would definitely stay again.

We were there for a celebration of life and it was very close to the venue so that was great. We had another couple with us and this house was large enough to accommodate us. With the bedrooms being on opposite sides of the house we had plenty of privacy.

I cannot say enough great things about the hosts and this place. It was absolutely perfect for our girls trip. Love the patio with lights and a ceiling fan....the beds are comfortable...the kitchen has everything you need. We utilized the washer and dryer a ton and loved the beach wagon and cooler to use for our convenience. These hosts are top notch....I wish I could given them TEN starts. We will be back.......

Very nice place. Very clean, and sticked with everything you need. With an amazing rooftop view of the ocean. Pool was heated. Loved this area and the beach was only literally across the street. We are from this area. And we enjoyed our stay very much Rex was a wonderful host.

The stay was amazing. The house is amazing, as shown in the pictures. The hosts are very reactive and helpfull. The pool is huge with a breath taking lake view. We enjoyed our stay and it was the best Abnb we stayed at in the area in the last 3 years. Absolutely recommended.

Great place! Very clean, responsive with any issues. The only huge bummer was there was nothing except towels for the beach (chairs, umbrella, softer, etc) as we’ve had in every other place we have stayed in.

Great clean place in a quiet neighborhood
